Pollo 2.5 supports multi-shot video generation with synchronized audio, character continuity, and prompt-defined camera movement.
Through Pollo API, developers can use Pollo 2.5 in text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-guided workflows for storytelling, advertising, training, and creator applications.
Key Features of Pollo 2.5 API
Multi-Shot Continuity
Pollo 2.5 handles connected scene beats, keeping characters, environments, and story context aligned across short sequences instead of treating every shot separately.
Native Sound Design
The model can generate matching sound with the video, including ambience, dialogue cues, and effects that support the action instead of feeling added later.
Character Identity Stability
Reference-guided generation helps preserve faces, clothing, and recognizable traits, making the model useful for recurring presenters, mascots, and serialized story formats.
Directed Camera Movement
Prompts can describe camera motion, framing changes, and object choreography, giving creators stronger control over how the scene is revealed.
Style Reference Control
Pollo 2.5 can follow visual references for art direction, helping teams keep brand mood, animation style, or illustrated looks consistent across outputs.
Detailed Prompt Understanding
The model responds well to layered instructions with characters, timing, shot order, sound intent, and motion details included in the same creative brief.
Use Cases of Pollo 2.5 API
Serialized Character Videos: Create recurring characters for episodic clips, branded explainers, or creator channels with consistent identity across scenes.
Storyboard-to-Video Prototypes: Turn shot lists into early moving drafts with sound, camera direction, and scene transitions included.
UGC-Style Dialogue Ads: Generate short presenter or customer-style scenes where speech timing, expression, and background sound matter.
Training Scenario Videos: Build workplace, healthcare, classroom, or safety examples where multi-step actions need visual and audio clarity.
Reference-Based Brand Stories: Keep a campaign's illustration style, color world, or character look stable across multiple video assets.
Narrative App Workflows: Add guided story generation to apps where users define characters, shot order, mood, and sound in one prompt.
Explainer Scene Generation: Create concise visual explanations with controlled camera focus, object movement, and synchronized narration-style audio.
How to Use Pollo 2.5 API
Get an API Key: Create a Pollo API account and generate your API key from the developer dashboard.
Choose the Model: Send a POST request to /generation/pollo/pollo-v2-5.
Add Your Inputs: Provide a prompt, then optionally add image, length, resolution, aspectRatio, mode, and generateAudio when needed.
Generate and Retrieve: Submit the task, poll the returned task status, and download the finished video once processing succeeds.
Prompting Best Practices for Pollo 2.5 API
Prompt Pollo 2.5 like a compact production brief. Include shot order, character continuity, camera movement, sound intent, and the final story beat.
Shot Structure: Break the scene into two or three clear beats instead of describing one crowded moment.
Character Rules: State what should remain unchanged, such as clothing, face shape, age, role, or signature accessories.
Sound Purpose: Explain whether the clip needs ambience, speech, music, effects, or a specific pause before the ending.
Camera Intent: Use camera movement to reveal information, not just to decorate the scene.
Style Anchoring: When using a reference, describe which style traits matter most: palette, texture, linework, lighting, or mood.
Example Prompts
Archive Room Discovery
"Shot one: a city archivist unlocks a basement file room, fluorescent lights flickering. Shot two: she finds a labeled tape box and whispers the date aloud. Shot three: close-up of the reel turning, soft machine hum, dust in the beam, tense quiet ending."
Transit Safety Drill
"Create a three-shot staff training scene inside an empty subway platform. A supervisor demonstrates the emergency intercom, a trainee repeats the step, then the camera cuts to the indicator light turning green. Include clear station ambience, calm dialogue, and steady instructional pacing."
Reference-Based Presenter Clip
"Using the uploaded presenter reference, create a short announcement in a small community studio. Keep the same face, jacket, and glasses. Start with a medium shot, push in during the key sentence, add soft room tone, and end on a confident nod."
Science Lab Explainer
"Shot one: a teacher places colored water into a transparent model river. Shot two: the camera tracks the flow around small barriers. Shot three: students point as the water path changes. Add gentle narration, table sounds, and a clear classroom atmosphere."
